We will walk through the streets of Greenwich Village stopping at the sites of Gerde's Folk City, The Bottom Line, Washington Square Park, The Bitter End, Cafe AuGoGo, The Gaslight Cafe, The Hotel Earle as well as Cafe Society and the former home of Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo

Washington Square Park

Washington Square Park is the spiritual heart of Greenwich Village. Known for spur of the moment music and in the 1960's on Sunday in was the home of Hootenannies where the like of Bob Dylan assuredly played as well as a fight for free speech.

Bitter End

The Bitter End is one of the only venues still helping to launch the careers of people who become world famous, such as Taylor Swift. But in the 60's and 70's it was a hotbed of talent. Everyone played there from Bob Dylan to Joni Mitchell to John Denver and many, many more!

If you are into Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, good music at all or the Village: Ann is the one to make a tour with. I had so much fun with her and our other guests. We learned tons of interesting stuff about this lovely area, it's musical residents and their careers as well as the clubs like Gerde's, the Fillmore East or the Bottom Line. This was my highlight in New York.
